Hello friends,
Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I examine the subject of whether or not we as humans can know truth. Is it impossible for us to know truth from our individual, finite, human experiences or can we know truth because it is revealed by God? Join me as I explore all of these issues.

"And taking the creation doctrine seriously involved thinking of man in his whole constitutional make-up as himself revelational of God. Being himself exhaustively revelation of God he is in all his activities dependent of God. The constitution of his mind therefore interposes no obstruction to any form of revelation that might come to it. Being itself revelation, the mind of man is made for the reception of revelation." (Cornelius Van Til, An Introduction to Systematic Theology, p. 162)
"We, on the contrary, hold that God as absolute Light is back of the facts of the universe. We hold that the atom is mysterious for us, but not for God. . . Christians say that we as creatures do not need to and should not expect to comprehend anything fully. God comprehends fully and that is enough for us. God’s full comprehension gives validity to our partial comprehension." (Cornelius Van Til, An Introduction to Systematic Theology, p. 25)
